Satellite dishes could soon be sprouting from the rooftop of Securenet\u2019s St. Laurent headquarters. By early next year, the phone and Internet provider could be delivering high-definition television service to a huge market\u2014from Sault St. Marie all the way to Rivi\u00e8re du Loup\u2014if the Canadian Radio-Television and Telecommunication Commission (CRTC) approves its bid to use new internet technology to deliver more than 150 television channels along the lines that it already uses.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is an extremely big project that we\u2019ve been working on for the past three years,\u201d said Securenet president Jean-Marc Vandette, whose proposal went before the CRTC, Nov. 5.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re relatively confident that the CRTC will grant our license for the service, which will be called Netvu,\u201d he told The Suburban<\/i> in an interview. \u201cWe ought to know by late December or early January. In the meantime, we have spent a lot of money installing a new fibre-optic network operating centre to facilitate this, in partnership with a number of major banking institutions.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe could be hitting the streets as early as February with about 150 unique channels\u2014some 350, if you include closed captioning channels and the like\u2014most of which will be in 720p or 1080i high-definition, depending upon bandwidth.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve been signing up broadcasters like Shaw, First Channel, Zero Channel, Moveola and Teletune. TVA was one of the first to come on board, and CBC, CTV and City-TV have all agreed in principle,\u201d Vandette reported. \u201cWe\u2019re also well advanced in negotiations with Astral and Corus. Ethnic channels are also among our business partners.\u201d<\/p>\n

To make the service possible, Securenet had to develop, together with a German firm, proprietary software that corrects errors in television signals broadcast via the Internet.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve tested it, and it has to reach 40 per cent loss before the picture starts degrading,\u201d Vandette enthused. \u201cThe technology will be backward-compatible, so customers with analog television sets won\u2019t have to go and buy a digital television to use the service.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cBecause it works through the Internet, users will have access to an electronic programming guide to a site that provides information about who is playing summaries of each episode,\u201d he added. \u201cWe\u2019re trying to make it a better television viewing experience, overall.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cSeveral other Internet service providers are also looking to us to deliver the broadcasts which we would deliver to them via our network,\u201d Vandette continued. \u201cIt has to be over private networks, the same way that Bell and Rogers are allowed deliver content on their users\u2019 Smartphones, because it\u2019s all delivered via private networks.\u201d
